If I were to begin all over again, I would go through it all, the struggles and the hard work and the rejections. Not for the money reward, although that has been large, but because of two things first, the friends I have made all over the world, some of whom I have never seen but whose letters and cards of greeting come on each recurring fete day. It takes more than one persons time to list and take care of the letters and greeting cards which arrive each week on Mrs. Rineharts desk. The second thing which my work has brought to me, possibly the most important, is the increased outlook and breadth of perception and knowledge that must come as the result of Some concepyears of such labor. tion of that breadth and humanity is given by the thousands of letters and greeting cards which she receives throughout the year.

A far cry from twenty-fiv- e dollars, the amount of the first check, to the organization which today includes in its personnel, always one of the sons, numbers of assistants to care for the infinite amount of detail, the ramifications of a business involving translation, serial, movie, foreign and dramatic rights and many times twenty-fiv- e . fore-finge- rs dollars. And all this revolves about one woman, Mary Roberts Rinehart, who somehow finds time, not only for the business of writing, but to be at home and to have hosts of friends, to write nei me iky tiSr 6 01 inf .1 Highway magazine calls attention to the fact that under present automobile travel the larger cities must look to their gateways in order to prevent congestion at the entrances of the cities. of is the basis Transportation trade, and America is employing more vehicle transportation every year.

Many cities have awakened to the menace of inadequate gateways. There are some big tasks ahead which re- quire cooperation between city, county and state authorities. The time is at hand when one road is not suffic- ient to handle all the traffic, and cities must see to it that sufficient entrances are made to their cities to take care of all traffic. |
